Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Mikoto Uchiha immediately came over and checked on Sasuke, who was lying on the ground.

Finally, it was discovered that the other person had simply fallen asleep due to exhaustion, which brought a sense of relief.

"Why are you so tired today?"

Mikoto Uchiha still had some doubts, but Sasuke, who was fast asleep, obviously wouldn't give her any answers.

She had no choice but to take the other person back inside.

When Sasuke woke up again, it was already close to evening.

Although he slept for more than two hours, Sasuke's mental state was actually not good.

Because he had a nightmare.

In his nightmares, he seemed trapped in a cycle from which he could not escape.

That was real hell!

So when he woke up, he instinctively sat up, his whole body soaked in sweat.

"Sasuke, are you alright?" x3

As his parents' and brother's voices rang out simultaneously, Sasuke subconsciously looked up and immediately saw the worry in their eyes, which quickly calmed him down.

Thankfully, it was just a dream...

No, that doesn't seem like a dream...

No, that's not right either. Was it a dream or not?

Sasuke couldn't tell them apart.

The expressions of Fugaku Uchiha, Mikoto Uchiha, and Itachi Uchiha had changed from worry to surprise.

That's... the Sharingan?

"Sasuke, what exactly happened to you today?"

All three of them were getting a little anxious.

They knew very well that to awaken the Sharingan, they needed a sufficiently strong mental stimulus.

That power can only be obtained by sacrificing friends or family members!

They are all still alive, which means that there are only two people in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who can be sacrificed for Sasuke.

The first one is Shirokumo Aoba, who is a disciple of Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, and the grand-disciple of the Third Hokage.

The other one is Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, a slippery slope that the Uchiha clan can't even touch.

If anything were to happen to these two, the Uchiha clan would be unable to bear such a huge burden of blame.

Sasuke slowly came to his senses upon hearing the three voices. Thinking back on what had happened that day, pain and...shame reappeared in his eyes.

When Fugaku and the other two saw Sasuke's eyes, they assumed that he was back to the pain he had felt before, and they couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Having awakened his Sharingan, Sasuke must have suffered considerable harm.

Fugaku Uchiha's tone also softened considerably.

"Sasuke, can you tell us about your Sharingan?"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke's eyes showed even greater pain, and he gripped the bedsheets beneath him tightly with both hands.

"Father, may I not tell you?"

Sasuke's appearance caused a flicker of hesitation in Fugaku Uchiha's eyes, but he quickly regained his resolve.

Something that could awaken the Sharingan in an Uchiha clan member could not possibly be a trivial matter.

"No, Sasuke, this matter is very important, you must explain it clearly in detail."

Fugaku Uchiha's tone became more forceful, and although Mikoto Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha looked distressed, they did not stop him.

Sasuke clenched his fists even tighter, and finally gritted his teeth to tell the whole story.

Although he was filled with shame, he did not lie, and even unconsciously revealed some of his inner thoughts.

At first, Fugaku and the other two were quite nervous, but as they listened, their expressions gradually turned to astonishment and surprise, and in the end, they all felt inexplicably fortunate.

It's a little embarrassing.

They were relieved that Sasuke had awakened his Sharingan in this way, but at the same time, as members of the Uchiha clan, they had been tricked by a transformation jutsu...

They exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes—the reason Sasuke awakened his Sharingan…

Let's not tell anyone yet.

However, this approach is worth trying.

It's better to become stronger after a breakup than to become stronger after losing your best friend.

It's a new track that we've never tried before.

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly let out a long sigh.

He patted Sasuke's head, but for a moment he couldn't think of any words of encouragement or comfort, after all, he didn't understand this kind of thing either.

Perhaps the Third Hokage might know a little bit about this; should we ask him for advice?

"Sasuke...you're such a good son...you should rest well first, dinner will be brought to your room."

"Sasuke, get some rest."

After patting Sasuke's head, Mikoto Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha also headed outside.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Seeing that the others were about to leave, Sasuke became a little anxious.

"Sasuke, is there anything else?"

Itachi Uchiha stopped, and Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha also stopped.

Sasuke's expression became incredibly resolute, his eyes revealing unwavering determination, and he said, "Father, brother, please teach me how to use the Sharingan!"

"I will challenge Shirakumo Aoba tomorrow. For the glory of the Uchiha, I must defeat him!"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha showed a satisfied expression, indicating that Sasuke had always kept the clan in his heart.

At the same time, he glanced at Uchiha Itachi out of the corner of his eye. It seemed that his eldest son, on whom he had always placed high hopes, had never taken the family seriously.

Just like the conflicted expression on Itachi's face at this moment, Fugaku was quite disappointed.

"Itachi, you will teach Sasuke how to use the Sharingan."

Uchiha Itachi, who was still thinking, snapped out of his reverie and nodded in agreement without hesitation.

However, what Itachi Uchiha was thinking about this time was not actually the clan and the village, but rather about Shirakumo Aoba.

As a member of the secret service, he naturally had access to more intelligence.

He knew very well just how terrifying Shirokumo Aoba's talent was; it was a ninja talent even stronger than that of Kakashi-senpai and himself back then.

Therefore, even if Sasuke awakens the Sharingan, he would still be no match for Shirakumo Aoba.

However, Uchiha Itachi, now off work, was more than happy to teach his younger brother.

After his parents left the room, he sat back down on the bed and began explaining the specific abilities of the Sharingan to Sasuke.

"With a one-tomoe Sharingan, the biggest improvement is your perception, and you also gain a certain ability to copy..."

Sasuke listened very attentively.

Brotherly love and respect...

-

It was evening.

Baiyun Qingye returned to the Thousand Hands Ancestral Home with three different kites.

Although he moved to the Senju family ancestral home, he actually has a separate house here, located on the side of Tsunade's mansion.

He sleeps in his own house at night and practices medical ninjutsu with Tsunade during the day.

Everyone needs some private space, so that it's convenient for Uzuki Yugao to come here to see him when she's not on a mission.

This is a win-win situation.

Shirokumo Aoba first put the kite back into her house, and then walked towards Tsunade's house.

As soon as I opened the door, a rich aroma of wine wafted out.

He walked into the entryway with a normal expression and said something quite naturally.

"I am back!"

This place is practically his second home.

"Aoba! Welcome back!"

A clear and melodious voice rang out, and he was greeted not by Tsunade or Shizune, but by Sakura.

Sakura was simply holding a small basin, looking at the white clouds and green leaves with surprise.

"Huh? Sakura, haven't you gone home yet?"

"Sister Jingyin said it would be too late to go back, so she let me stay here."

Sakura quickly put down the small basin, walked to Shirokumo Aoba, and helped him take out his shoes and put them away.

Like a virtuous wife waiting for her husband to come home.

"Sakura, I know where the shoes are."

Shirokumo Aoba patted Sakura's head.

"I like this feeling."

Sakura lowered her head, her face as beautiful as a peach blossom.

"..."

Baiyun Qingye had nothing to say; it was someone else's preference, so what could he do?

The two walked into the living room together and saw Tsunade lying on the sofa looking uncomfortable.

Baiyun Qingye could only sigh softly.

He finally understood the pain Shizune had endured following Tsunade all these years.

However, he was also lucky, at least he had never slept on the streets.

Tsunade seemed to sense the familiar aura as well, and couldn't help but mutter something.

"Kid? Come here and give me a massage to help me sober up."

Baiyun Qingye: ...
